A little over two years ago, I started building an online forum for dolly lovers. The intention was to create a community where people all over the world could come and talk about their doll collections, give help and assistance to each other, trade and share their experience.

Due to circumstances of the time, I decided not to make that forum live.

Things change, and two years is a long, long time. Now that I’m about to trip off to Japan and my own collection has expanded, I decided it was the perfect time to launch the Dolly Addiction Forum.

No matter what kind of doll you collect – plastic, plush, resin, vinyl – you are welcome at Dolly Addiction.

Dolly Addiction - a forum for doll collectors around the world.

Thank you to the great friends and supporters who have encouraged me. Your support and continued participation at the Forum will see it grow into a large community.

Busy organising for the big trip to Japan, but also doing a few Top Secret things I’ll announce later.

Spending an entire month away from home in a foreign country is a big task, and although I’ve done it before, I do recall the feeling towards the end of the trip of homesickness mixed with some regret that I had to leave such a fascinating place.

This time, there will be three of us on the trip, and one of my travelling friends hasn’t been out of Australia before, so it will be a huge adventure for all of us.

Will update this while we are in Japan, with lots of photos too.

see you soon

Still working with my webhost to address the random outages.

No new content until it is resolved (or I find a new host).

Long delay between posts, I know.

I received Revoltech Haruhi – Bunny Version from my Mum for Christmas. How cool is that?

Also, Crappy Cat from my Husband. Also incredibly cool.

All my time at the moment is invested in two new websites I am working on, plus the Japan 2010 itinerary for March/April. It’s going to be a blast!

Over at We Play With Dolls.

Ten of my girls need to find a new home. That’s right, I’m kicking ten NEO Blythes to the curb, just in time for Christmas.
